把这一句，留给此刻的你

The gradual decline of a society is often a self-induced process of trying to meet ever-expanding appetites, rather than a physical inability to produce past levels of food and fuel, or to maintain adequate defense.

一个社会的逐渐衰落往往是一个自我诱导的过程，试图满足不断增长的食欲，而不是身体上无法生产过去水平的食物和燃料，或维持足够的防御。

— Victor Davis Hanson 维克托·戴维斯·汉森

Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.

科学是建立在事实之上的，正如房子是用石头砌成的一样。但是收集事实并不是一门科学，正如一堆石头并不是一所房子一样。

In this world, full often, our joys are only the tender shadows which our sorrows cast.

在这个世界上，我们的欢乐往往只是我们的悲伤投下的柔和的影子。
